The Frissbee GR2 and Frissbee GR3 were American
sports prototype
racing cars, built by
Frissbee in 1981 and 1982, respectively, for the
Can-Am series. Originally built by
Lola Cars as a
Lola T332
Formula 5000 car; and featured a 5-liter
Chevrolet V8 engine. It was then converted into the
Spyder Can-Am car in California, raced for
Newman-Freeman racing, and was driven by
Keke Rosberg among others. It eventually evolved into its current iteration, and was later driven by
Danny Sullivan,
Robert Meyer,
Al Unser Jr.,
Jacques Villeneuve, Sr.,
Horst Kroll and
Rick Miaskiewicz, between 1982 and 1985. It was later sold to
Colin Poole of
Plum Tree Racing in England and competed there between 1987 and 1989.
